Douglas College in common with all academic institutions condemns any
cheating or attempted cheating within its community.

To enforce this condemnation the College will expect that any proven case
of cheating or attempted cheating will be dealt with summarily and
appropriately by the faculty and administration of the College within the
guidelines of the following procedure.

Procedure

When a student has been found cheating or attempting to cheat, the faculty

member(s) will take action which may include but is not limited to the
following:

1. Assign a failing grade for the assignment, test, paper or analysis.
2. Assign a failing grade for the course.

3. Request the withdrawal of the student from the classroom, testing

environment, laboratory, practicum placement, workshop or examination
room.

4. Request the withdrawal of the student from the course.
5. Request the formal withdrawal of the student from the programme.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing the student may at any time wish to
consult with a College counsellorand/or the Student Ombudsperson and may
appeal any penalty imposed by the faculty member(s) as follows:

1. By appealing to the Principal of the campus upon which the course was
taught or under whose jurisdiction the course falls, or by appealing
to the discipline convenor or program coordinator.

2. Should this first appeal fail to achieve a resolution satisfactory to
all parties then the student or faculty member may appeal to the College
Admissions and Appeals Committee. The decision of this Committee will
be final and binding.
